Bodyfat Analysing

We have a new Scaleman bodymass scale ... high tech scales. Not sure how much I want to know these things but I am going to keep a record for a short time at least to see if I can improve the ratio as it seems my fat level is pretty high in relation to muscle. Might try doing my 15 minute weight exercises a couple more times a week to see if it makes a difference. I only intend stepping on these scales once a week. Starting a new food list from today too.

Measurements 18 March 2007

Weight 56.1
Fat 24.9%
Muscle 16.7kg
Water 54.2%
Bone 2.3kg

Food Influences

Occasionally I've been watching The Biggest Loser on TV and I have to say it really turns me off eating. I admire the enormous effort the participants are making to shed some of the weight they carry, but have to question how on earth they let themselves get to that point. To be over 200 kilos ( 420lbs) is incredible. And it was achieved over years, mouthful by mouthful. So think about that mouthful before you add it to your body .... do you need it?
